Rescued from the wreckage, a baby boy is rushed to safety. He was discovered in the arms of his injured mother after their flight crash landed. Moments after take off, the plane had rammed intoa building. It broke into pieces on impact. But there were survivors. And some even walked away from this unharmed.
